EchoIRLP Node K5MOT-R (Node Number 119161)

EchoIRLP is a developing project with a goal to share hardware and software resources for IRLP and EchoLink systems.  The EchoIRLP web site explains this project in more detail.  Software is installed and being tested that allows the K5MOT IRLP node Linux computer system to connect to EchoLink network nodes.  There are multiple related projects underway to accomplish this capability.  You may hear of them referred to as EchoLinux, theBridge, as well as EchoIRLP.

The software we have installed on the K5MOT IRLP node is referred to as the "EchoIRLP" project.

What this software does or does not do:

• does not allow you to cross connect the IRLP and EchoLink networks together.
• does provide the K5MOT IRLP node access to available EchoLink clients and conferences.
• does allow EchoLink clients to connect to the K5MOT-R EchoLink node number 119161. 
• Note, we are currently filtering EchoLink PC client nodes that connect to the K5MOT-R system.  EchoLink repeaters, links and conferences are not filtered.  Outgoing connections from K5MOT-R are also not filtered.  This was implemented due to the number of silent connections, mostly from EchoLink PC clients.   If your EchoLink connection to K5MOT-R is rejected with a "not allowed" message, then your EchoLink client node is being filtered.  If you have a valid reason for your EchoLink PC client to connect to K5MOT-R, such as to support the Fort Worth NWS and SKYWARN activities or the Motorola ARC, please contact the K5MOT-R node operator/controller via the web page status.irlp.net/IRLPquestions.php?nodeid=3747.

The following DTMF code list controls the operation of the K5MOT-R EchoIRLP node. You will see the operation is very similar to using IRLP.  General EchoIRLP controls would be prefixed with *. This insures EchoIRLP node numbers are differentiated from IRLP node numbers.  Contact the node operator/controller, with any questions or problems.
